Mercury, Saturday 10th

 
>>Where did you get to Neville?  (I heard you took a trip to Cosham and back!)
 
I flew ENE to just beyond Petersfield (north of Harting), where I lost my map during a refold so resorted to flying where I knew the airspace...south past Harting towards Corsham, then back to downs, Westwards towards Fareham, then back to the hill for a great 2 1/4 hour flight. Base at just over 5000ft, thermals only 300-400ft/min north of the downs, but further south in the convergence reached 900ft/min on the averager. Well worth the patient 25min wait to find upgoing air in the near near wind.
